Question 117

What is the ratio of men to women rolled in a certain class?
I. The number of women enrolled in the class is 3 less than half the number of men enrolled.
II. The number of women enrolled in the class is $$\frac{2}{5}$$ of the number of men enrolled.

Solution

Let number of men and women enrolled be $$m$$ and $$w$$ respectively.

Statement I : $$w+3=\frac{m}{2}$$

=> $$m=2w+6$$

Since, we cannot find $$m:w$$, thus, statement I alone is insufficient.

Statement II : $$w=\frac{2}{5}\times m$$

=> $$\frac{m}{w}=\frac{5}{2}$$

Thus, statement II alone is sufficient to find the required ratio.

=> Ans - (B)
